Clone Hackintosh 500G to 250G SSD? 10.12.6

Notebook: Acer Aspire 7745g Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650 + Intel (r) HD Graphics (switchable graphics cards) CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz Audio: Realtek ALC670 @ Intel Ibex Peak PCH + ATI Radeon HDMI @ ATI Redwood/Madison Wi-Fi: Broadcom BCM43225 802.11b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter

With many helpful replies I have my laptop running MacOS 10.12.6 with just a few more tweaks will be perfect. It was a big struggle as my skills (lack of) really aren't up to the challenge so I hoped cloning what works so far would be optimum with speeding things up with a SSD. I do hope to upgrade to 10.13 etc. but that hasn't gone smooth...baby steps.

The laptop has a great dual hard drive setup and I was thinking on simply cloning the working 500G HD over to a 250G SSD.

I've had no success with CCC as the HDD only has 40G on it and the file transfer starts quick but after 10 mins 50% done it slows to a crawl and after 4hrs errors out.

Clonezilla doesn't appear to resize...

I was hoping to clone to the smaller SSD and then copy over the working EFI and apfs.efi etc.

Any suggestions of course would be welcomed.
